BECOME A SEAKEEPER

You can help support the International SeaKeepers Society in building a global effort to help restore an protect the world’s oceans. Members of the Society recognize the ocean’s critical importance to the life of our planet and are deeply committed to finding real-world solutions to the problems now plaguing our seas.

Consider joining as a Founder or other leadership level. If that is not within your means, we would appreciate any financial support – every contribution makes an impact.  Our annual budget is $1.5 million, which covers the development and support of our SeaKeeper 1000 monitoring system, as well as administration and fundraising efforts.

As a nonprofit, we are in a position to work with scientists, governments, academia, and industry, as well as the public on select issues.  We are proud that our efficiency and agility allow us to respond more effectively than many larger institutions. Of course, the contacts and resources of our members often make the difference, allowing us greater impact than our modest membership and budget would normally allow. Join Today!

In the USA we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization . Our accountants are Pinchasik, Strongin, Muskat, Stein & Company PA and our financials are available upon request.

Registrations as a charitable organization in other countries are in process. The International SeaKeepers Society is the result of an initiative by global business leaders disturbed by the deterioration in the health of the oceans. SeaKeepers’ significant contributions provide the funding to aid development, testing and deployment of the patented SeaKeeper 1000 technology and to support other projects contributing toward long-term ocean conservation.

Though Americans make up just 4 percent of the world's population, the U.S. produces 25 percent of the carbon dioxide pollution from fossil-fuel burning -- by far the largest share of any country. In fact, the United States emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan combined. (National Resources Defense Council)
